The first time I got my diamond card it was a long, painful process. The second year I gambled so much between Tahoe, Vegas (twice) and multiple AC trips that it wasn’t even a question. But this year it was looking like I wouldn’t even get to platinum status. But much like the apartment I […]

From the American Airlines Advantage newsletter:
Dear Gustavo,
The sights, the sounds, the non-stop entertainment. Did you know you have enough AAdvantage® miles to get to Vegas?
I miss you too Las Vegas, I really do. We’ll catch up soon, I promise.

In a fitting end to my month of recruiting travel I once again found myself paying for bud lights at the horseshoe outside chicago. the place was packed, much busier than last time I was there. we had a hard time getting in to a table, but eventually got settled in to a $15 craps […]

it has been a long time since I went to a new casino. last month I got a random phone call from Heather, where she explained that Harrah’s was opening a new (remodeled, I believe) Horseshoe near Chicago. I was jealous, and she knew I would be, hence the random phone call.
I had the […]

I’m still exhausted from the PR trip and it has been four days. There is only one solution for this problem - AC. Thank goodness Heather is in town this weekend.

Easter weekend was surprisingly light in AC. I guess there are more devout C&E Catholics here than I expected.
I headed out once again with the same couple I went with on Chinese New Year. At the last minute, they talked a friend into going and driving with us. Now I’m not one to envy cars, […]

Or alternatively titled, “AC by way of Philadelphia”.
For my Chinese New Year AC trip I hooked up with some friends from work who happened to be going as well, which was awesome because they let me stay in their room on Saturday night so I didn’t have to suffer the late night Saturday bus ride […]

Oh yeah, I went to Lake Tahoe for x-mas. It is absolutely gorgeous there as you can see. I went with Jason, Balki, and Ezra. Here’s the trip in notable quotes:
“You are a bottle of jack away from closing that deal.”
“You need to start having sex with strangers.”
“I am a serial monogamist.”
“No […]

I play a lot of craps. If I start playing craps and I’m winning (or within a reasonable amount of losses) I’d rather keep playing than change games to get some poker in.
The Borgata is currently holding a big poker tournament (WPT Poker Open). To catch some of the action walking out of the poker […]

Kat and I made it out to Las Vegas for the first time in forever (Dec. 2005 to be exact) for a wedding. Everyone was already staying at the Flamingo, so we decided to stay at the same hotel as the rest of the group. Jim and Adrienne were coming to the wedding too […]
